The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam) novel Chapter 875

Hailey scoffed. "Joanne, you keep claiming you love Jonah. Is this what you call love? You're using the snow lotus to threaten me, to force me to break up with him. What a clever little scheme."

Joanne smirked. "Then let's see who loves Jonah more. Let's see who loves him enough to make a sacrifice. The one who loves him more will be the loser!"

Hailey's hands clenched into fists at her sides.

But she didn't say anything. She just shot Joanne a vicious glare before turning and walking away.

As soon as she left, another person stepped out from the shadows. It was Ewan.

He had come to Barombya with Joanne, and the two were in league with each other.

As he watched Hailey's retreating figure, Ewan asked, "You think she'll really break up with Jonah?"

Joanne smiled. "What do you think, Mr. Shaw?"

He replied, "She will. Hailey's always been crazy about Jonah, be it three years ago or now."

"Exactly," Joanne said. "We know how much she loves him. That's why she'll surely break up with Jonah."

Ewan looked at her. "I didn't expect you to be so calculating."

"If I weren't, how could I have stayed by Jonah's side for three years? That spoiled little princess is no match for me. Mr. Shaw, just wait—you'll get your happy ending too."

Ewan raised a brow in amusement. "Cheers to a successful partnership."

Joanne smiled. "To success."

Hailey returned to her room. Jonah had just come out of the shower, wearing a white robe. He was still holding the note she'd left behind.

"Back already?" he asked.

Jonah held her shoulders and gently turned her to face him. "Hailey, since we couldn't get the snow lotus… my face won't get better. Are you upset about that?"

What was he thinking? Did he think her quiet mood earlier had been because of that?

Hailey gave a helpless smile. "Jonah, how many times do I have to say it? I don't care what your face looks like."

Jonah smiled faintly. He knew, but he still yearned to become the man she had once loved most.

But now that they had missed the snow lotus, perhaps it really was fate. Maybe he was destined never to get his old face back.

He leaned in and kissed her. "Hailey… I want you."

She felt his desire, raw and intense. Wrapping her arms around his neck, she whispered, "Jonah, I want you too."

She then kissed him back, hungrily and passionately.
